Rapid Set® V/O REPAIR MIX is a high-performance, polymer-modified blend of Rapid Set® Cement with additives and quality aggregates. V/O REPAIR MIX has been specially formulated to match the color of typical Portland cement concrete. Cutting-edge Self-Curing Technology (SCT) means wet curing is not required in most applications. V/O REPAIR MIX is non-metallic and no chlorides are added. Combine V/O REPAIR MIX with water to produce a high quality repair material that is ideal where rapid strength gain, high durability, and low shrinkage are desired. Integral corrosion inhibitor increases protection of embedded reinforcement. V/O REPAIR MIX has a working time of 25 minutes and achieves 2000 psi in 2 hours.
MIXING: The use of a power-driven mechanical mixer, such as a
mortar mixer or a drill-mounted mixer is recommended. Organize work so
that personnel and equipment are in place before mixing. Use clean,
potable water. V/O REPAIR MIX may be mixed using 3.5 to 4.0 quarts (3.3 L
to 3.8 L) of water per 50-lb (22.7-kg) bag or pail. Use less water to
achieve higher strengths. DO NOT exceed 4 quarts (3.8 L) of water per
bag or pail. Place the desired quantity of mix water into the mixing
container. While the mixer is running, add material. Mix for the minimum
amount of time required to achieve a lump-free, uniform consistency
(usually 2 to 3 minutes). Do not retemper. Avoid mixers that entrap
large amounts of air.
INSTALLATION: V/O REPAIR MIX may be
placed using traditional methods. Place and consolidate quickly to allow
for maximum finishing time. Use a method of consolidation that
eliminates air voids. Do not wait for bleed water. Apply final finish as
soon as possible. V/O REPAIR MIX may be troweled, floated, shaved or
broom finished. Do not install on frozen surfaces. To extend working
time, use Rapid Set® SET Control retarding admixture or use cold mix
water.
